New Pop Music sensation Angel “Angie” Mkhwanazi will drop her first single titled Can’t Stop Dancing to honour her late grandmother who raised her.
Real name Angel Mkhwanazi from Hendrina in Mpumalanga but now who is based in Ormonde View in the South of Johannesburg shared her chilling story of how her grandmother influenced her music career.
“My passion of singing when I was seven years old. I used to like joining school and church choirs where I used that as an opportunity to express my talent. Since I was raised by my grandmother, I used to love to sing for her. And you could see from her face when I continue singing that she was enjoying my singing. It was very fun having her around but then God had other plans for her,” she said.
Angel said her grandmother passed away in December 2020.
” I was left all alone, with no one to replace her space in my heart. Well, I took the little money that was left and came to Joburg. Believe me when I say I knew no one in Joburg. When I rode the taxi to Orlando I rode it not knowing where I was going, but I told myself that Joburg was my only option where I’ll be able to pursue my dreams of being a singer.
I met a lady on the taxi to Orlando and I told her my situation. With her gold heart, she took me to her mothers’ house and told her mother about me, that I didn’t have a place to sleep. Her mother as well, with her warm heart took me inside her house and treated me like one of her children,” she said.
Angel is balancing her music career and her waitressing job to make ends meet.
“I saved some of the money I was earning for studio fees. Well, I wasn’t exactly sure where I was gonna find a recording studio as Joburg is a really big place but by God’s grace, I met people who managed to plug me to the right people,” she said.
She said the Can’t Stop Dancin is produced by popular Producer Dj Aiburn Sounds who has worked with Makhadzi, Mr Brown, John Delinger, Lady Zamar to mention the few.
” I recorded my song with them and is now ready for distribution. The song is entitled, “Can’t Stop Dancin”. I’m a person that loves to sing and dance, so that’s why I chose a pop genre where I’ll be singing and dancing with my fans. As I’ll be releasing Can’t Stop Dancin’ on the 20th, fans can pre-save the song on their spotify account,”she said.
